richiemo Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Gang - was loading a flight today and was trying to match real weather in SFO. I selected full overcast and 5 or 10 miles visibility. And it kept crashing FS9 and the program would start. If I left visibility as unlimited it would be fine. I've selected 10 mile visibility before. Any idea why the visibility would crash the system.

tiger1962 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 If you use HD cloud textures they can cause very low FPS in full overcast conditions, possibly even a CTD. I use the lowest resolution HD cloud textures I can, which is 512x512 pixels. The default cloud textures are 256x256 pixels. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

ColR1948 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi Tim, Are those the Oscar Clouds you use? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi Col, I use the High Definition Environment (hde.zip) by Pablo Diaz, but the same principle applies.

ColR1948 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Thanks mate, I'm downloading it as I type, I'll give it a try. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 OK Tim I got the clouds installed, so far so good. I have my FS2004 in 60's retro mode and in doing so I installed SilverWings scenery, at first it looked OK but for some reason it seems to have lost something. After I get above 2500ft the scenery looks awful, no details at all just mass of a blurred texture, also if I'm below 2000ft the detail is back but some things annoy me, there is a factory with 3 chimneys scatted about every 200 yards apart and what looks like a cathedral every 200 yards as well. So now I'm looking for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
